Hi Adam, I could use some help if you have time and inclination for it. There was apparently some lint on my lens when I took this photo over the weekend at the Bay Area Book Festival. I don't know how to "erase" it. I'd be appreciative if you could fix it ... if that's even possible. I'm not so concerned about the lint in the background; it's the piece that's on her face that's bothersome. (I'll crop her if that can be erased.) Thanks in advance! -- Rosiestep (talk) 19:16, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rosiestep: I removed the obvious ones; there's three or four on the left half that I wasn't quite sure if they were lint or just blurry things that were there. These are the one at the top of the window, the dot just above the previous, the one on the pillar between the windows, and the loop upper left. What d'ye think?

You state here (over a faulty timestamp, making the diff and source harder to find) that this discussion includes "personal attacks against the person stating there's issues with the article"; could you please indicate which statements there are "personal attacks" so your claim can be addressed? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:09, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For further reference, these are personal attacks and personalization which degrades discussion; as an experienced editor, hopefully you're aware that such comments are best struck:

1. 20:04 June 4 (also over a faulty timestamp)
2. 13:37 June 12

Also, please read WP:REDACT and refrain from editing your posts after others have already responded to them, and when you do edit a post, please update the time stamp so the diffs can be found. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:15, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And

3. 12:24 June 12

is another personal attack ("outright lie"). You posted to the Fringe noticeboard, and had one response saying to move it to the NPOV noticeboard, where you had received zero input before initiating the FAR. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:29, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SandyGeorgia:

Your claim is:

"Within minutes of opening other noticeboard discussions (NPOV 20:14 and Fringe theories 19:35 -- that had received zero input when this FAR was added to the talk page at 20:23) this FAR was launched"

The FTN had received a reply, and had been closed after I moved it to NPOV. It's interesting that you think that almost an hour after the FTN post is "within minutes", but let's let that pass.

So, your timeline:

• I opened FTN
• I opened NPOVN
• I opened a FAR
• No replies happened to any of these

Actual timeline:

• I opened FTN
• I was asked to move it to NPOVN and to open an FAR.
• I opened NPOVN, and closed the FTN discussion
• I started writing an FAR, which requires posting the notice on the talk page to be able to start writing it.
• Several hours later, I actually finished writing the FAR.

Your timeline is patently untrue. There was a response to the FTN, you say that it had received zero input.

It is not a personal attack to call you stating patent untruths and doubling down on them a lie. If you had struck your error, as I asked, I wouldn't call it a lie, just a mistake, but your false claim is still up, you have not apologised, and your false timeline is being used to attack me. Maybe you're just incredibly sloppy, and didn't realise you had stated something untrue, but you have had the error pointed out to you, and still act as if your falsehood was not false. Do we need to move this to the administrator's noticeboard? From my memory, this is not the first time you have done something like this. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 15:41, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you missed this post, which may help your understanding.

The single response on the FTN informed you that the matter didn't belong there because it is not technically fringe, and that you should post instead to the NPOV noticeboard; it was not a response addressing the concerns raised, rather one stating that your post belonged elsewhere.

I hope this helps as you consider the three personal attacks under discussion in this section. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:15, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how you can link to something on FTN that begins "Definitely bring this up at WP:FAR." and ends "Consider cross-posting this concern at WP:NPOVN (and maybe closing discussion here since I think it is better posed as a neutrality question)", and then be shocked that I literally did everything the post told me to do.

However, I will repeat: You said, "Within minutes of opening other noticeboard discussions (NPOV 20:14 and Fringe theories 19:35 -- that had received zero input when this FAR was added to the talk page at 20:23) this FAR was launched"

That isn't true. You understand it's not true, right? You've just linked the response at FTN that disproves that statement. Yes, it is true there were no responses at WP:NPOVN when I started the FAR, but that's irrelevant, because that's not what you said. While we're at it, do you deny being gender critical? Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 02:36, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

then be shocked that I literally did everything the post told me to do. It is at least a little surprising that you would open the FAR, raising a whole set of questions you had not discussed at the page nor the noticeboard, simply because someone told you so. You are not a new editor. I'm not shocked, but I certainly am left with the impression that you were very ready to do this. But SandyGeorgia has raised several personal attacks with you, and you are doubling down. In asking what her personal views are, having already argued that holding certain personal views would make her views on the page "not worthy of consideration", you are again doubling down on personal attacks, and those are not an issue for AN, they are an issue for AE. Let me gently suggest that you owe SandyGeorgia an apology, and if you would dial back on the battleground behaviour, there might be more progress on page improvement, and less heat. You do want to see the page improved, and retaining it's FA status, do you not? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:45, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't usually find it useful to ask for apologies.

AC, you launched the far on 11 June; it is now 14 June, and you hadn't done the notifications, so I did them for you, using the requests to be pinged establsihed during the first FAR. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:46, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but I was busy dealing with a ton of attacks caused by your allegation of forum shopping. It was exhausting. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 17:55, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if the picture of the Thaw mansion could be improved (or if a better picture of it can be found). I'm sure it was a beautiful home, but it looks awful. It would be nice to at least get rid of the waviness that looks like it was caused by moisture or rolling of the paper. It's used in four articles.

It's an engraving from a newspaper that is a better quality version of the headline image used in Action at Sihayo's kraal, which I currently have at FAC.

APPEAL regarding the ANI complaint filed against me today by JJARichardson here, and the subsequent, coordinated note posted here by User:rsjaffe, but seemingly instead by the complainant himself:

WP:ITNC

Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day

Wikipedia talk:Featured pictures

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Disruptive_editing_by_User:Sca

APPEAL regarding the ANI complaint filed against me today by JJARichardson here, and the subsequent note, posted here by User:rsjaffe, although possibly (?) by the complainant himself.

The Complaint (No.50) states: "User:Sca is engaging in persistent disruptive editing on Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. This includes tendentiously dismissing nominations as "promotional" and describing historically significant images as "old news". Here he engages in personal attacks and admits to "trolling" with tendentious comments. JJARichardson (talk) 02:10, 13 December 2025 (UTC)"

The complaint errs in exaggerating the magnitude of my votes at WP:ITNC, since most of my posts there have been and remain non-counting comments, rather than actual votes for or against "promotion" (approval) of nominations – which in any case are not binding with regard to Main Page POTD choices, made by users who are not generally involved in ITNC anyway.

Further, my contested comments are neither argumentative nor polemical, but rather intended to support ITNC's modus operandi under its Criterion 3, which states in part that 'promoted' FPCs should be

a) Of a high technical standard.

b) Have good contrast, accurate exposure and neutral color balance.

c) Show no significant compression artifacts, burned-out highlights, image noise ("graininess") or other processing anomalies.

d) Have its main subject in focus, a good composition and no highly distracting or obstructing elements.

In general some, but not all, questionable ITNC nominations deal with ephemeral events, past entertainment items, or other topics that seem to lack broad reader appeal or serious topical import (i.e. EV = encyclopedic value).

Nevertheless, let me point out that all nominations may draw comments or be voted upon by all Wiki participants. Accordingly, increased participation by users who aren't 'regulars' at ITNC may bring more insights and perspetive to this primarily discussion forum, the importance of which is considerable in inciting interest among the millions who peruse the Main Page every day.

All of us are here to serve the public, and as User:Jimbo Wales said a couple months ago advised to "direct our attention toward activities that inspire trust.” – Sca (talk) 15:00, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• @Amakuru: Thank you so much! Christmas has been a little weird this year: Got married on the 13th, so there was never the normal buildup to it, since the marriage and afterparty stuff took so much of December (especially as I injured my shoulder, and so got stuck at the marriage venue (my mother-in-law's cabin) until the 23rd!)

  Hi again Adam, and happy new year. That sounds like quite the dramatic festive season! Congrats on the marriage, anyway, and I hope your shoulder is on the mend... Being stuck in a remote cabin all that time sounds like it could be frustrating, but also maybe nice in a way?! I ended up having an unplanned Wikibreak myself, being busy with Christmas visiting family and then a new year reunion with old friends in the Peak District. All the best anyway, and looking forward to lots of good Wiki-output and hopefully seeing more of your excellent featured pictures in 2026.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:14, 4 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

happy new year! - inviting you to check out "my" story (fun listen today, full of surprises), music (and memory), and places (pictured by me: the latest uploads) any day! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:00, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

20 January is the 100th birthday of David Tudor (see my story) and the 300th birthday of Bach's cantata Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen, BWV 13, if we go by date instead of occasion as he would have thought, so see my story for last Sunday, and celebrate ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:37, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

For the last issue of The Signpost I did editorial review of your submission immediately before publication. In my review, I suggested a change which was difficult to manage. I recognize that you made your submission well on time, and that it is a pattern for you that for years you have made good submissions in advance of publication date.

I apologize for not being timely with my review, and for putting the stress of a late review on to you. I also apologize and regret to say that I frequently do Signpost editorial review only just before the deadline, which is unfair to you and unfair to others. It should not be that way, and wish I could promise to get timely reviews back, but I may not be able to do that.

I appreciate your opinion pieces. I like the personal attention you put into them, and also, I think they are broadly representative of how many hundreds of other Wikipedia editors feel, so I am grateful that you capture them in published journalism. I wish for your time with Signpost writing to be both fun and meaningful to you. I am not sure right now what I might do differently to be more accommodating in the future, but I do want to say that I like that you spoke up about the trouble I caused for you, and that I take the blame, and that I wish I would not have troubled you, and that I want you to keep contributing because I think your contributions are irreplaceable and much needed right now.

@Bluerasberry: It's alright, but the situation's frustrating, and Jpxg's comments that felt like they were mocking the very idea of publishing the article really didn't help. Like, if Jpxg is against the very idea of publishing it, what's the point of another week of revision? Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 21:18, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
